Land Rover Range Rover fuel consumption

Expert answer:
Quick answer
Range Rovers (full-size) often see 14 to 22 mpg combined, depending on diesel, mild-hybrid, or supercharged V8. Their off-road hardware and luxury add weight.
Detailed answer
Range Rover models span various powertrains—diesel six-cylinders might reach about 20–22 mpg combined, while supercharged V8s can drop near 15 or below in city traffic. Newer mild-hybrid inline-six or plug-in hybrid versions yield moderate improvements, but the SUV’s heft still curbs top-tier mpg.
All-wheel drive, robust suspension, and plush interiors raise weight, so city usage sees mpg suffer. Occasional highway cruising at moderate speeds can yield near 20 for certain trims. Regular servicing—like changing filters, maintaining tire pressure, and checking fluids—keeps consumption stable. But Range Rovers remain about capability and luxury first, efficiency second. Buyers typically accept frequent fill-ups for the brand’s prestige and off-road prowess.
